MLA System
USER GUIDE
Gives an overview of all devices in the project displaying all bargraph level meters giving access to essential functions such as
gain, mute and Delay and with a link to EQ functions. This is designed to be used once a show is in progress to allow easy
monitoring of an entire system from a single page. The Master Overview is opened as another tab next to the Project System
diagram and any other open arrays or components.
Show Mode;-
As the name suggests, this is intend for use during a show once set-up is complete. It changes the operation of the Mute function
for all products. When disabled, all mutes can be selected and de-selected freely, when show mode is active;-
Any click on a mute button will bring up a pop-up window asking you to confirm that you want to Mute or Un-Mute that array
or channel. It also disables the output cell check function, see later in this guide for details
The zoom function;-
Allows you to adjust the system diagram size to suit the complexity of the system on your PC display. The '-' and '+' buttons will
decrease or increase the zoom in increments of 25%. Alternatively you can use the drop-down box to select either 10%, 25%,
50%, 100%, 125%, 150%, 200%, 300%, 400%, 600% or 800%. Particularly useful are 'Page' which will zoom to the maximum size
that the page will allow, 'Width' which will zoom to the maximum width of the diagram and 'Height' which will maximise the size
to fit the height of the diagram.
Mute is essentially an "emergency" function if something is causing severe noise through the system you can click on the mute
button;-
This will bring up the flowing window;-
As you can see it is a very drastic measure which will shut down the entire system which is why it should be considered as an
emergency measure only and not an everyday means for muting the system. If you are sure you wish to proceed you can select
'Yes' if not click on 'No' and the window will disappear, the audio will remain routed. This function mutes every input and output
